DECAYING---RENEWIN @.

Che leaves are changing, and the winds grow
chill,
AS, murmring through the woodland wilds,
they chant
Their sad, mysterious music, weird and shrlll'
and leave their echoes ghosts the groves 10
haunt.
Soon will the last sere leaf come fut ring down
To Join its comrades-driven by each gust
Remorseful Nature, draped in somoer brown,
Lie garbed in sackcloth, prostrate in the
dust.

The purple and fine linen of the meads-

Trie shadowed drapery OF MORNINGS weeds.
pThe dear, sweet songs, that gladdened summer

fight,
and the rich strains OF their melodious lays
y Be followed by the stiffness OF the night.
[The naked branches. towering up on high
Stripped and left shiv'ring in the winds OF
fall,
Stand limned against the canvas OF the sky
A fleshless throng, waiting some prophets
call.
Each change is but part OF that decay
By which grim winter mars the work of
spring,
Each change is but herald of that day
When there shall be a new awakening.
Tis but the leaves that fall, the trees will
stand,
Nothing is lost save for greater gain;
And Nature with her deft and busy hand.
Gives impulse to the powers that remain.
Our growing old is but our growing new,
Life's falling leaves leave fresher buds be-
hind;
Though ages pallor chase youths ruddy hue,
We come, at last eternal youth to find.

DINING ON A PICTURE.
How Now Famous Painter Once Paio
a Years ROard-RiII.

a 1earS IOaru-B1lIs
The early days of Jules Bastien's
career were time of struggle and
poverty. He was glad TO draw de-
signs for fashion journal, and once
he went down to Damvillers and paint
ed forty portraits of the villagers. The
cost of living, small as his expenses
were, was serious matter. For the
rnt of his little attic studio he paid
fifty dollars a year. He breakfasted
upon three sous worth of bread and
two of coffee, with milk. For dinner,
at franc and half, about twenty
seven cents. he went to the restau-
rant nf Mademoiselle Anna, Rue Saint
Benoi..
T. lose early days he painted a
picture of peasant girl walking in a
-..asl .a =u-iue entrapped by Loves
who ARC c.s heir nets before her
..-t This n...u.o was accepted at the
C. ia @ rough the in1ence Of
laDvnei, UuJ IL was not sold. Il was
the first painting that Jules Bastien ex-
hibited, and its fate was curious one.
Kind-hearted Mile Anna understood
the needy state of the young artists
who visited her restaurant, and Bastien
was her favOrite. When he lacked the
franc and half for dinner, she cheer
fully gave him credit, and finally she
accepted this picture in payment for a
years dinners. Afterward, when the
name of the artist became famous, she
was offered four times the amount of
her bill for the painting, but she re-
fused to part with it, and kept the
first work of her protege until her
death. Ripley Hitchcock, IN ST. Nicho-

ABOUT TOOTHPICKS.
The Use and Abuse of These Indispensable
Little A Arfi

The Use and Abuse of These Indispensable
Little Articles.
The toOthpick, when used with dis
cretion and at proper times and in
proper places. is an unobjectionable
ii tile instrument. Its occasional en-
ployment is, rs a rule, necessary to
cleanliness and the preservation of the
teeth. So also is the use of the tooth
brush. This adjunct of the toilet is.
however, never used in public. The
person who, after partaking of meal.
should proceed to publicly use his

There's but one place in which it may
be r1gnI, nsed-the dressing room,
ard ro personyho has the slightest
consideration for the ietl1ngs or tbnUzs
will handle it anywhere else.
1t would seem to be almost unnec-
essary to make such statements as
those in the foregoing paragraph N o
one possessing any delicacy of feeling
or squeamishness of digestion will
dream of fcontroverting them. And yet
the tooth-pic is daily increasing. and
has already reached proportions that
strike the foreign visitor with astonish-
ment and disgust. and make the lives
of MANY of our citizens any thing but
agreeable.
The practice has doubtless grown
owing to the large number of people
who live or have lived in hotels and
boarding-houses, where tooth-picks
were furnished with ethe idea that
guests would take them 10 their roOmsi
and in some of the hotels guests can
even now only procure tooth-picks at
the doors by which they leave the din
inG-Eo0ms. In other hotels and in
many boarding houses and also, it is
sad to have to write, in some private
houses. the toOth-pick holder IS n reg
ular ornament (?) OF the meal table.
and its contents are assiduously
worked.
In no other country that the writer
has ever visited have tooth-picks been
publicly used in private houses or in
the presence of women. An English
woman or French woman of the bet
ter class not only never dreams OF
using a tootb-pick before people, but
she considers it something that it is
more pleasant not even to mention.
Here, however. it is no uncommon oc-
currence to hear lady ask for the
toothpicks, and select one that she
thinks Will fit her needs.
The subject is not an agreeable one
TO write about. 1t could have been
treated in a far more realistic manner,
but this is one of the instances in
which much may be profitably left for
the intelligence Of the reader to sup
ply. There are, of course, hundreds
of thousands of Americans who arc
guiltless in this matter; there is, per.
haps, an equal number who, through
thoughtlessness or carelessness are
not guiltness. 1t probably needs. how
